Since I purchased my home, I have been making lots of updates and repairs to it.
It was just a dated house that could use some love and care.
Thankfully I live next door to my parents who are quite handy. I don’t need to worry about plumbing services since my father can handle anything with pipes and plumbing fixtures. No electrician is needed because of my mother. My parents do the snowbird thing though. They were extremely helpful in the gutting and remodeling of my master bathroom. Now they are gone for the whole summer and early fall. Now is the time where I want to redo my other bathroom. I don’t really want to wait months when I could be getting ahead on my projects. Now for the first time in my life I am looking into plumbing services, HVAC technicians and handyman services. I want to add a ductless mini split to the space, move a toilet and also have glass blocks added rather than a brand new window. Since I am hiring out all of these general maintenance tasks, it is going to be more costly. I am hopeful that hiring out means that there will be less human error. My parents are good at what they do, but are no way experts. There are certain things in the master bathroom that are quite odd because of what my parents cand o. Hopefully finding a qualified individual for each of the tasks will ensure the bathroom is done correctly and maybe even quicker than I am planning on.
